Hi everyone I'm Andrew Forrest & I'm here to save the day

I hear people are getting cranky about inaction on #ClimateCrisis so I did a #BoyerLecture making whacky claims like hydrogen cars being part of the future

I might be rich but I'm an "Aussie Battler" just like you!

"While net profit after tax continues to elude @Tesla it has a market value of over $800B it's major climate innovation is only a battery that runs on whatever fuel is in the national grid instead of a fuel tank. I think the real climate challenger could be Fortescue"

I haven't developed any technology myself but I take a swipe at @elonmusk who's company has revolutionised the following:

✅ Batteries
✅ Electric Motors
✅ Autonomous driving software
✅ AI chipset 21x faster
✅ Automotive manufacturing
✅ Charging Network < 20k stations

At 1.11 pm on 18.11.20 Murdoch's @couriermail editor @DamTom79 sent a tweet suggesting that I was a professional tweeter (paid by someone) and that I had

"deployed a bot swarm to defend @MrKRudd"

Both of these claims are false and have damaged my reputation & character.

I've recently called many Australian politicians "climate deniers"

This sparked Mark Spencer from @climacticshow to launch pilot podcast "Degrees of Difference"

Community climate organiser Asher Coleman & I had a great discussion about how we approach climate activism in Aus.
We discuss growing up in regional Australia as well as the political & media failures to tell the truth about the climate crisis.

We also discuss what the definition of "climate denier" really is.

Thread of screenshots tracking @ScottMorrisonMP's "comment to like" ratio.

Morrisons posts never get "ratioed" because "likes" are artificially boosted (bots) as comments grow.

Number of comments never exceeds likes.

This thread shows screenshots of this.
